Disclaimer, these are not all hippies, but they all did have long hair in their later years!

I tend to think that Hippies are much like Phish's Trey Anastacio, springing forth from the womb fully formed as hacky-sack playing, djembe thumpin' hippy-dippies, but that obviously is not the case....enjoy!

We begin our journey with a young Tommy Chong, before he was a burn-out...(that's him on the far right, looking suspiciously like Johnny Depp. Oh, by the way, that's NOT a skinny Jack Black in the middle of the picture)

Next we see a young Jerry Garcia...brighted eyed and bushy tailed, fresh as a spring daisy!

Oh Janis Joplin, you could have been the perfect 50's suburban housewife, but NOOOOOHHHHH!!!

Little Jimmy Morrison, folks! (Yeah, he's the nice kid from next door you just paid 50 cents to for mowing your lawn!)

And he brought his friend, Neil Young, (who lives on Elm street, a couple blocks over) to help....

Is that you, Steve "the colonel" cropper? Oh wait, that's you when you were still a brash young Lieutenent!

Steve Tyler, class valedictorian, yearbook commitee, glee club...and no, this dude used to NOT look like a lady...

"Just like a white winged pledge pin" was a song Stevie Nicks wrote while a member of Tau Epsilon sorority. She just slightly modified the lyrics after her first acid hit...

"Oh, that's Gerry Petty's son, Thomas...you know, I sponsored him into the Moose lodge last year"

There is actually a group of people right now engaged in a new translation of the bible. Their concern was that the bible was too liberal, and depictions of Jesus as a peace- and- love hippy was competely wrong. So, some fine theologians from Bob Jones university are making their own bible, one with all those pesky references to love and hippyness removed. Yes, it comes with pictures. Gone are the ones with Jesus wearing the white robes and with the long hair, though. Now they modeled him after John Tesh..(or was it john Ashcroft?) Of course, Charlton Heston is Moses (a no brainer) and they got Bruce Willis to model for the part of Paul of tarsus.
They took out the entire sermon on the mount. They felt this was really the most troubling and problematic part of the whole Bible. They did leave the story in about Jesus turning water into grape juice. Yes, grape juice. The consensus was that wine was too "french", and therefore un-american.

As you scroll down and read this link, pay close attention to some of the examples they set forth. At first, I thought it was a joke or hoax, but sadly...it's not! These people are serious about actually taking out parts of the bible that they don't agree with!

Dude I didn't get my hair cut till I was 3 years old,
Then the man made me get all clean cut and respectable.
But then in 7th grade I started growing it all out again.
But i have never been a Hippy, and never done any incriminating acts.

I'm a good little boy, just look like a dirtbag.
aka, don't judge a book by its cover.
Mr. go out to your truck for band breaks.
